What happened was - nothing - and twisting the context until you find a way to be offended is senseless.
I'm not offended I'm pointing out as per the thread that double standards do come into play for people depending on who is saying it. You are assuming Tiffany is weaker than those she is coming on to and Ken is stronger when actually he's a fairly old guy, how can you know the girls in question couldn't throttle him? I'm a woman and I do think that sometimes there are double standards on behaviour and women can be a cut a lot more slack than men on what is and isn't appropriate. Not a Ken fan, but I thought he was a fairly good comparison. If we are emancipated then that doesn't mean men can't sneeze without being accused of being inappropriate it means we are, or should be equals. By those standards really what Tiffany said in the diary room was as inappropriate as anything Ken said and she should probably be given a warning.
